June was the best. Every year it's awesome, and I feel like I need to write about it so I can reread this in February. We swam almost every day all month, sometimes twice a day. I've been doing swimming lessons for a few neighbors and Chase usually joins in the lesson. Chase is a total fish in the pool, it's been amazing to watch his progress. Hudson has gone from scared of the water and clinging to me the whole time, to totally confident and kicks around like a pro (with a life-jacket on). It's been hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family and we've all loved it.
Also I turned 27. It may have been my favorite birthday yet. For the first time maybe ever, both my kids miraculously slept in that morning, until 8:00! (Of course I was up at 6:00, but it was nice to have a few quiet hours.) We had a quiet morning and then I went out to lunch and shopping with my mom and Kate. Then after we all had a nap the boys and I went up swimming, Ben joined us there and we had a fabulous time in the pool. Then my mom watched the boys and Ben and I went out to dinner at Olive Garden (thanks to Ray and Diane) and did a little shopping. That night a few friends dropped by with treats and presents and it was all just wonderful. I felt loved and so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life. And so far 27 has been awesome.
During the last month I've spent a lot of time just feeling grateful. We are at a really great place right now in life, so many things have fallen into place so perfectly. We love our new home. Our boys are just so funny and smart and adorable. Ben likes his job. Everyone is healthy and happy. Ben and I have both agreed we are so happy and feel so blessed. And because we have experienced some heartache and disappointment in the past, and know there will undoubtably be challenges in the future, we are just enjoying it now and feeling so grateful for our life.
